My husband and I are a wedding photo/video team in Pennsylvania and we absolutely LOVE working with Julie and her team at the Terrace at Hyatt House! Our bride and groom were so pleased with how beautifully their day flowed and how professional and kind the staff were! Tent weddings are such a rare find in the downtown Pittsburgh area, and this one can be easily transformed into a fairytale event space! We love the clear roof and twinkling lights!

We got married at the Sheraton on 9/7/24. We had the most amazing experience there. Everything was perfect and went off seamlessly. The food was AMAZING. We had many guests that said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Melissa was our point person and she was a GODSEND. She answered all my constant questions and worked so hard to make our day perfect. Melissa and all her staff made the wedding planning process so easy and enjoyable. I would recommend the Sheraton to anyone looking for a classy pittsburgh wedding vibe!

The Holiday Inn Weirton-Steubenville Area was a fantastic choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, the team, led by Brad, was incredibly quick, professional, and thoughtful in their communication. They were extremely accommodating and made sure the venue was clean and convenient for our special day. Brad worked wonderfully to ensure our wedding guests were taken care of, even while juggling another wedding that weekend. He also had so many helpful recommendations for other vendors that made planning a breeze. The rest of our guests loved that there was a restaurant and bar on-site, allowing them to continue the after-party and get breakfast the next morning. We would highly recommend the Holiday Inn Weirton-Steubenville Area for any couple's wedding celebration.

Mansions on Fifth Hotel 

5.0

Pittsburgh, PA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • All-inclusive

  • Starts at $5,000

Welcome to the Gilded Age. Right here. Right now. A unique Pittsburgh Boutique Hotel. Once home to one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent attorneys, when you cross the threshold of the Mansions on Fifth Hotel, you enter another world – one of elegance, sophistication and opulence. And yet despite its grandeur, the Mansions on Fifth Hotel honors the simplicity of that time. Our boutique, upscale accommodations offer a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle at the intersection of Pittsburgh’s most prominent universities, medical centers, and technology and innovation hubs. And, since September 30, 2016, the Mansions is operated by the Priory Hospitality Group, Pittsburgh’s premier owner, operator and developer of independent hotels and event spaces. Among its other holdings, Priory Hospitality Group owns and operates the Priory Hotel and Grand Hall at the Priory on Pittsburgh’s North Shore.

  • Bridal suite on site
  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Classic, vintage atmosphere

Venue considerations

  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available
  • Does not allow pets
  • On-site parking not available
The first time we saw the Mansions on Fifth, we thought it was the perfect venue for our big day... and it was! The entire historic property is absolutely stunning, both the exterior and the interiors of each room (you'll have some amazing photos!). The many food options we tried were all delicious and the chef was accommodating in making any menu adjustments we requested. The whole staff was super helpful and professional, with a special shoutout to the event manager Marissa, who helped plan our wedding though the months leading up; and to the day-of event manager Zach, who expertly kept everything on track and helped make the day perfect. I'd say the venue is ideal for a small to medium sized event, we had 40 people and it was great. Aside from events, it is still a very cool place to stay if you’re in the Shadyside area for a night or two.
